Eden is now beginning to come into herself. She is discovering the world around her - everyday there is something new. During this process we are both learning her preferences for the things that make her particularly happy. Now that I come to think of it I haven't really taken mental note of many things that make her particularly mad, perhaps we'll save that for another post anyway and just focus on life's pleasentries for today.
Things that make Eden smile:
1. Babies/children: any age, any size, she loves them all
2. Sparkling water (Is this bad? I'm not sure its appropriate for babies)
3. Running around in Daddy's arms chasing Klamath
4. Klamath
5. Peek a boo
The list could go on & on but those are the top 5 for today. It is an amazing thing raising a child. I am in awe. Up to this point in life, I have found that the most satisfying ventures for me (whether it be rock climbing, surfing, etc) are those things that make me fall on my face in awe of the grace and glory of God. More & more I am coming to realize that raising a child is one of those things. Perhaps more so than rock climbing ever was or could ever be. Who needs to hang off the side of a cliff when you are responsible for this tiny being who is just beginning to discover the world & who she is in it. That really is heart stopping enough.
